Brand: Elixifit

Features:

  • STRONG AND EASY TO USE – Thick high quality elastic and metal slider make our occlusion bands very durable. Velcro fastenings are easy to apply, adjust and remove using one arm. Specifically designed sizes for arms and legs means no long excess band hanging and getting in the way.
  • OCCLUSION TRAINING EBOOK – Learn the science behind occlusion training for muscle growth and strength gains – from preferential recruitment of fast twitch muscle fibres to increased anabolic hormone production. Detailed instructions on how to use as well as application to programme design and sample training programmes for arms and legs.
  • INCREASE MUSCLE AND SIZE GAINS – Occlusion training is another name for blood flow restriction training. Restricting blood flow from the arms or legs during exercise has been shown to significantly increase strength and hypertrophy (muscular growth) adaptations, even when lifting very light weights.
  • BODYBUILDING AND REHABILITATION – Scientific research has proven the effectiveness of occlusion training. Gains in muscle size and strength can be achieved using loads as low as 20% of you 1RM! This enables more frequent training and enhances musculoskeletal rehabilitation. It also makes training around injuries easier.
  • DIMENSIONS – Medium size is 60cm long and perfect for training arms. Large size is 90cm long and perfect for training legs. Our occlusion bands are all 5.5cm wide to optimise comfort and blood flow restriction. Every order comes with two occlusion bands.

Premium Occlusion Training Bands

Our occlusion training bands are made from high quality strong woven elastic. They are 5.5cm wide with a durable metal slider and a strong Velcro fastening mechanism. The two sizes (Medium for arms and Large for legs) are specifically designed for an accurate fit without leaving lots of excess band hanging and getting in the way.

Our team of sport science experts have tested numerous occlusion band and cuff designs and have found the metal slider and Velcro by far the easiest to apply, adjust and remove with one arm when training your upper limbs.

Detailed training methodologies and sample training programmes can be found in our occlusion training Ebook, which comes with every purchase.

Occlusion Training - Quick Guide

Slide your occlusion band over your arm or leg to the top of the limb, pull tight and secure with the Velcro strap. We recommend approximately a 7/10 pressure - they should not be uncomfortable at rest. When muscle growth is the goal we recommend applying the occlusion bands after your heavier compound exercises and using them for your lighter, higher volume isolation exercises.

Why Occlusion Training Works - Quick Guide

Occlusion bands restrict venous return of blood from your limbs but not arterial inflow. This gives you a very strong muscle pump and causes an increased build-up of acid and pressure in your muscles which signals for large increases in growth hormone and gonadotrophin.

During occlusion training there is also less oxygen available to the working muscles, which causes the fast twitch muscle fibres to do more work because your slow twitch muscle fibres require oxygen. Fast twitch muscle fibres are larger and have a greater capacity for growth.
